Flora Tallinn vs Legia Warsaw

Legia Warsaw will be looking to preserve a 2-1 first-leg lead against Flora Tallinn when the two sides meet at the A. Le Coq Arena in the return leg of their Champions League qualifying tie.

A 2-1 first-leg defeat brought the home side’s nine-game unbeaten streak in all competitions to an end (W8, D1). Notably, each of Flora’s eight victories during that nine-game sequence saw them keep a clean sheet, which comes as a massive confidence boost ahead of the rematch. The Estonian giants eased past Hibernians in the previous qualifying round, winning both legs by over 1.5 goals ‘to nil.’ Moreover, the ‘Triibulised’ haven’t lost a single any of their 12 competitive home matches this calendar year (W10, D2), notably scoring 2+ goals on nine of those occasions. At the other end of the pitch, Jürgen Henn’s men have kept four clean sheets in their last five competitive home fixtures (W4, D1), with three of their four wins in that period yielding a full-time margin of 2+ goals.

On the other hand, except for a penalty shoot-out defeat to Rakow in the Polish Super Cup, the visitors have won each of their remaining four competitive games this season by an aggregate score of 8-3. Taking last season into the equation, Legia are undefeated in their last ten away matches in all competitions (W7, D3), keeping six clean sheets in the process. Interestingly, Czesław Michniewicz’s men have found the back of the net in all six halves of the Champions League action played this season, scoring the opening goal by the third minute twice in the process. But before claiming a 3-2 away win over Bodo/Glimt in the previous Champions League qualifying round, Legia had netted under 1.5 goals in four consecutive road trips across all competitions.
